WAITING FOR THE MAIL.
DETROIT FREE PRESS.

With anxious features, worn and male.
He waits the coming of the mail;
Each day he asks, with hope and fear.
my letter Is my letter here:"
Each Gay he hears in silence dumb:
Not yet, Old man, 1t has not come''
The harmless mailman, old and gray,
No one would jecr or drive away
"Ah me- he says, ''long years have past
But it will come. twill come at last
And so he waits in silence dumb,
The letter that will never come.
Through misty vision of his tears,
He sees the long, far-sundered years,
The past CONF S up before kim there,
When he was strong and she was fair.
Once more he feels in very truth,
The leaping pulses of his youth;
A strong, strange joy he feels again,
The old wild fever in his brain:
An angry word, a careless tone,
And she has gone and he's alone,
Since then he waits in silence dumb,
The letter that will never come.
Alas his poor old wits are fed,
He can not know that she is dead;
And so he asks it, DER and DER,
The same old question as before,
He wakes with morning light to say;
MY letter, it will come to-day"
With tottering limbs that almost fail,
He creepS each morning TO the mail
and hears with ever new regret,
mot yet, old man, not yet"
And so he waits in silence dumb,
The letter that viii never come.
All me! poor mailman, even we
Are dupes of tickle destiny:
In ceaseleSS hope we waiting sit,
For missives that were never writ,
We wait to see the harvest grown,
OF seed that we have never sown;
We seek the harbor mouth to hail
The vessels that will never sail,
We wait to see our gerner filled
With fruit of fields we have not titled,
We wait in gathering stiffness dumb,
For letters that wili never come.

McCOnnell's Trip.
Chicago Herald.

A week OR so ago w. A. Mcconnell left
Greensboro, Ky, to go to Evansville, Ind
on an Ohio river steamboat. He embark
ed at p IA, and having disposed of his
retinue he turned into his berth and gave
the captain orders to awaken him when
the boat reached Evansville. "What time
do we get there?" he asked. "ten O'Clock
tonight" replied the captain. The dis
lance between the two points is 80 miles.
Being tir ed, Mr.. Mcconnell turned into
his berth for q few hours sleep. When
he awoke the SUN was shining brightly.
He CROPPED for his watch and looked at it.
1t was O'Clock in the morning! He rush
ed out in his stocking feet to the main
deck and hailed the captain with few
choice Morton House epithets.
"Haye we passed Memphis yet?'' he
yelled.
The captain looked at him in dumb as
constituent.
SIS that Natchez, Miss, over there on
the left banu side?" yelled Mcconnell, as
he danced around the poop-deck while the
crew looked on bcwildered.
what are you talking about?" asked
the captain.
Il suppose we will soon be in New Or
leans?" continued Mcconnell.
"This man is gibbering idiot said
the officer.
"Please point out Spanish Fort to me
when we get thsre, and let me know when
we reach the gulf" said the theatrical
agent, with the calmness of despair.
"Once for all, explain yourself or dry
up" said the captain gruffiy.
Didn't tell you to let ne off when we
reached Evansville?"
s'Yes."
swell here it is 8 O'Clock in the morning
Where are we, I'd like to know?''
Stuck on a sand bank, two miles from

Moxie and Nervous Women,

Its effect is said to be quite remarkable though
the Moxie plant, which is all of it that can pro-
duce the result, is as taSteleSS and harmless as
grass. The nervous, weakly women flock after it
like mad, and it is said by them to stop nervous
ness at once and give them double powers of
endurance, while it neither acts like nor leaves a
reaston like stimulant nor loses its effect like
medicine. 1t is said to remove nervous and
other complaints by making the nerves strong
enough to control the functions of the body
properly when the cause of i'll health disappears,
while medicine forces the functions of the body,
leaving the nerves weak from being compelled
tooyertask. We hope our druggists will keep
fall stocks,

Most nifeult of All.

Looking up from q desk which had
just been given him, the ambitious young
reporter, fresh from the favorite educa-
tional institution of the State, thus ad-
dressed the grim old editor:
"What do you find it most difficult for
inexperienced men to writer"
Sense" the old fellow replied. There
was nothing harsh in his voice, yet the
young fellow turned to his desk and
didn't speak again during the evening.
